I know that shipping costs are hardly the most exciting topic, but when you hear that something is going to be getting cheaper then I think it is worth noting.
I’ve never actually made an order at Design By Humans, so I have no real frame of reference to the shipping prices, but they’re damned cheap now. Their most recent mailout said that a single tee could be posted for as little as $5, which is a cut of about 60% on the previous cost. But when I added one tee to my basket and proceeded to the checkout, it said that postage to the UK was $4.14, which is obviously less than $5, and an excellent deal for those of us on this side of the Atlantic that love buying stuff from America but hate having to pay over the odds for it to actually get here.
They’ve also reprinted a load of tees as well, so if you were disappointed to miss out on a tee in the past take a look and see if its back in stock.

1Good to see the postage prices have dropped, its just when the buggars at HMRC get hold of it!!!

2Damn, that is cheap! That’s less than USPS domestic Priority! I noticed that my latest DBH order shipped via DHL (strangely), so maybe that has something to do with it?

3@Tom for a business to consumer order, if your order is £18 and under, then HMRC shouldn’t be able to charge you any extra on it, and the Royal Mail can’t charge you a ridiculous £8 ‘handling charge.’ I’ve had orders before that were worth £21 and been charged £11 tax on it because of RMs handling charge, though I think I’ve received plenty of packages worth more than £18 and not been charged, so it probably evens out.
@Joe I was amazed at how cheap it was, it’s actually cheaper than buying from many sites in Britain, crazy!
